Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette It's time for my sister to step up to the pro class alongside with 2.2's. "thumbsup" We got good deal from Hittman and got his old CCC Mutt. Thanks to him! :wink: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0934.JPG Rig came down to cold Finland today. Good packing there Christian! :mrgreen: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0935.JPG Someone has been waiting for it! :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0936.JPG What do we have here? http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0938.JPG Some CCC magic is already noticed! :) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0939.JPG Here are the stuff that we got from Hittman. It's a really good platform to start building the dream car. All except the electronics. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0940.JPG All of the stuff are in great shape. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0941.JPG Rear axle ready to be attached back to the Mutt. :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0942.JPG Front axle is as well. I might go for a little less caster, but that's about all I will change. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0944.JPG These are one of the tires that will be used under this rig. The other ones are LaaLaa Skinny Rovers and E.Y Design narrow voodoos. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...95731092_o.jpg Skins have already been designed by Michelle from Krawler Konceptz! How orsome are these?! :mrgreen::mrgreen: Now we have the whole autumn to build this thing, and may start competing with it next year. To the electronics, I've made a decision to go for Holmes Hobbies this time. More will come, when the rig is taking it's shape. "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Nice skins...awesome sister 8) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette 1 Attachment(s) The Mockup pic...using Hittman's winning picture..."thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette That rig is gonna rock your world"thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Smurfette on silicone!!!! ;) Good luck in pro class Sofi!!! Wish i my daughter will do the same as you... Girls on the rocks are cool!! |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Quote:
...cool looking panels and CCC rig. I hope sofi did not handle as good as her brother Samu...hope so but also wish the best"thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette It's so cool that I can finally start driving the class of kings. I've always thought that this class is really hard to drive so I've never seen myself driving it. But after few trainings with my brother's car, I thought well, why not? Rest of the year is quite busy for me. So next year starts the real thing. Now my consentration is on shafty and pro. Luckily I've got amazing car and beautiful panels. Thanks Michelle from Krawler Konceptz one more time! Of course I wouldn't have smurfette without my brother so thanks bro! Looking forward on driving and ofc some international comps! P.s. I know you guys are confused about the panels, but that's part of the plan ;) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette softy beautiful car, good luck, have a great brother |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Work continues... Sofi assembled the rig together: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0947.JPG I told her to be careful with them aluminium screws. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0949.JPG Refreshment. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0952.JPG Loosing the nerves assembling washers. :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0953.JPG Axles assembled. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0954.JPG It's just waiting for the electronics. They are coming soon! 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0959.JPG Tires! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0960.JPG That's how it flexes. Really smooth! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_0962.JPG It's just waiting now. This will be on the comp in this season. That's for sure! "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette The parts list is awesome! everything looks good! it is certainly a very good rig to start with the Pro class, good luck with this Sofi "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette it looks really nice sofi hope to see you at the supercrawl in germany with it next year |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Great :roll: another driver from the Sarka clan, think we have enough great drivers coming out of Europe. Now all us crawlers have to get our asses handed to us by a girl! And a smokin hot one at that! Looks like a great start to an awesome build"thumbsup" Good luck in pro class Sofi |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette While we have been waiting for the other electronics to come in stock again, Sofi has been training with my pro and building the things she can for now. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1016296.JPG First competition with pro rig. Still unfamiliar with two ESC's, but the driving seems to be there. Just requires lot of training as in with any other driver. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1022.JPG So, time to start skinning Smurfette! :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1023.JPG As it turned out, the Mutt wasn't in original wideness, when it left from NM. :mrgreen: Time to make it wider. Sofi didn't want to cut the skins, which is highly acceptable in this case. :ror: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1024.JPG Still smiling... http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1025.JPG After two hours... :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1026.JPG Few still to attach. Turned out to be a really tricky job to find parts to make this wider. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1027.JPG Windows! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1029.JPG Colour seems to be perfect for this thing! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1030.JPG Attaching the inner skin, to protect electronics. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1031.JPG Shiny! :) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1032.JPG She is on! :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1034.JPG After three hours it's done. Almost. Still need to bend front of the roof. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1035.JPG Damn, it looks good! :mrgreen: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1036.JPG Roof from behind. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1037.JPG Here is what it's gonna look like when climbing. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1041.JPG Smurfette wants to thank Holmes Hobbies for the shirt. :shock: Now it's time to wait for the electronics. Might take a while. Plan is to get it going in next two months. ;-) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Yeah! Looking good! Thanks one more time krawler konceptz and ofc my brother who had enough patience to put those panels together. Just can't wait to get the electonics... even though it was fun to drive with my brothers car but I really want to see how smurfette goes! So it's just waiting now. Luckily winter comes so I have time to focus on smurfette. I know that next year that car is going to be in a pretty good shape, so I can rock the world in competitions! ;) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette hmm, is yous sister single? |

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Probably should be the last one.. Lol.. Kick his ass sea bass!!! Waahahahaha.. I'm wondering about Smurfette! Myself.. She single!? Maybe its the HH emblems, but she's hot... Lmfao... |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Does not seem like she is anwsering here, but it would be nice if you invited Sofi and Smurfette to the Nordics at the End of the World (Verdens ende). :) |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Good job Sofi...... It looks like you were not far behind this past weekend. Great job for the first comp. Just be careful...... If you start beating your brother he may stop helping you with the setup! [emoji140] [emoji23] |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Quote:
Time for update. After I heard, that the next batch of ESC's will take time to arrive from Holmes Hobbies, I decided to tare apart my own electronics from the bully. This way Sofi could have her first comp in this year. "thumbsup" So, it was time for preparations. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1044.JPG Old trusted servo from my ex-mini crawler. Futaba BLS157HV. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1045.JPG I also bent the roof panel and now it looks really mean! :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1047.JPG Stubbies, micro sidewinders and CC Bec ready to jump on XR-10. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1048.JPG Steering in place. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1049.JPG And it steers! :lmao: I also gave my E.Y. Designs narrowed Voodoos to Sofi's rig. Dlux wheels and those tires are perfect match for the rig. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1050.JPG Rear motor attached. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1051.JPG Overall look before attaching rest of electronics. ;-) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1052.JPG Overall RTR weight is impressive as well! :shock: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1053.JPG Electronics are finding their place. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1054.JPG Pretty cool this thing. :mrgreen: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1056.JPG Electronics are on the place. Even the battery is perfect match for the colours of this thing! :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1057.JPG Mutt gives you a decent amount of ground clearance as well. :shock: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1060.JPG I have to say, that Michelle did amazing job with the skins. Again! "thumbsup" Then it was time for the comp. The last one in our season 2014. Fence Puzzle! 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1010991.JPG Sofi did not have a clue, that her rig would be in action already there. It was great to see her face, when she saw the finished product. 8) Priceless. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1010994.JPG Time to get the party started! :) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011030.JPG On the line for the course! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011357.JPG Nervous? http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011369.JPG First gate - cleared! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011047.JPG The ride looked really good! http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011381.JPG Going for the difficult gate four. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011403.JPG Rig was working flawless through the comp. Nothing broke and Sofi did few amazing performances! "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/P1011081.JPG There was only one thing, which I found out that needs changing. That's the caster angle. In my opinion it had way too much positive caster. But that's about all, that I would change of it so far. "thumbsup" <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ySST9E6LKn8?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Here video from the second course, where Sofi only took two reverses! She decided not to go for the bonuses, but just go on the finish line. Wise descision. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/TULOKSET/Crawling...20TULOKSET.jpg Here are the results! "thumbsup" Third position with a brand new rig. That's the spirit! 8) After the comp, I went to garage to "fix" the only problem it had with the caster angle. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1074.JPG One step back. :lmao: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1076.JPG It still steers pretty well. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1077.JPG I think this is going to improve the steering quite a bit at least in Finland. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1078.JPG Now we'll just have to test it, when we have a suitable weather to do that. It's getting colder here day by day. :roll: Next comp will be on January and the tuning will start from there. At least it's good, that Sofi has now driven a few gates with this before the new season. "thumbsup" We'll continue on working. PICTURES: Arttu Ahtiainen |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Hello Samu, What are the width of sofi's wheels front and rear using that narrow voodoos ? |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Quote:
Here's straigh copy of my bully 2 thread: I wanted to go with someting little wider in front and narrow in rear. Narrow Voodoos to the front axle with 0.87" wheels in it. And ultra narrow Voodoos to the rear with 0.72" wide wheel. |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette So, first comp behind. I have to say that I was completely surprised when Samu brought my car with his electronics on it. It was a really nice surprise so thanks bro! :) Driving with smurfette was kind of easy thanks to my chassis CCC Mutt which is by the way brilliant! It is hard to describe how good it feels to drive with that car. I think that word smooth could gave you the best description. Everything works amazingly! Still it is hard to use all the buttons which I have never used because I've been driving shafty class. So my driving is kind of slow. My first comp went well. Still, I've got pretty good drivers to challenge me but I think that is a good thing! It's good to have some challenge :) Smurfette rocks! Still, looking forward to the next season! My brother is spending a lot time with that car but I think he has to step aside because I want to repair my rig all by myself, of course ;) So, now it's time for training for the next season. |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette its a sad day when troy hits on a blue cartoon picture on some skins:flipoff:..........but the rig looks great keep up the good work "thumbsup" |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Only Sarka names on the top 5 list in 2.2pro and shafty... what a family.... GO TEAM SARKA!!!! |

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette We have rest of the parts now!

It's gonna be ready soon! "thumbsup" Later, when the new version of HH BR-Minies arrive, Sofi will change to those. For now we are going with Micro Sidewinders. |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette i am concerned there might be a little too much weight up front. smurfette has grown (up) quite a bit. |

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Finally got myself back to the garage and doin some work. :) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1165.JPG After checking out all screws and bearings in the axles and chassis, the electric works needed to be started. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1166.JPG "Koppensneller's" old electronics will head down into this rig.

"thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1178.JPG Final stretch still to go! Have to clean up the wires before installing the whole thing in the rig. Slooooooowly, but steadily! :flipoff: |
Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Another day at garage. 8) http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1190.JPG Time to make them wires longer and clean them up. http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1191.JPG Carbon fiber motor guards on the place protecting them Pullers.

Simply enjoyable tuning. "thumbsup" http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1194.JPG Still trying to make them colors match! :flipoff: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1195.JPG God I hate soldering.... :roll: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1196.JPG Ready for testing! :shock: http://paron.pp.fi/ZT%20Mekkausmekka...4/IMG_1197.JPG Didn't smell any smoke in the test, but also realized that the TX is not in the setup.

Re: Axial XR-10 a.k.a Smurfette Why do you cut and solder all of those connections? Why not pick up some crimpers and the terminals to make it much easier and cleaner? http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...ools/crimp_ec/ http://www.hansenhobbies.com/product...tors/pt1in_ft/ |
